Communications Director to Move On

Adrian Butcher, the Anglican Communion’s director for communications, plans to step down after three years in the role.

Butcher, who worked for BBC News for 25 years before joining the Anglican Communion Office, took up the post just before the 16th meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council. He will leave in May after that body’s 17th meeting.

“It’s been an interesting and challenging time and I believe considerable progress has been made,” he said. “We have refreshed the ACO website, introduced weekly news in French, Spanish, and Portuguese, dramatically increased our video and blog output, and beefed up our social media presence, although there is always more to do.

“It has been a memorable three years. I have had the privilege of attending some extraordinary events and have met many wonderful people all over the world. But I feel the time has come for me to move on to fresh opportunities.”

Christ Episcopal Church Cedar Key, Florida is uniquely located on the largest island in a group of barrier
islands south of the Suwannee River in the Gulf of Mexico. We are just three miles from the mainland
and 60 miles from the university town of Gainesville. We offer a lovely rectory adjacent to the Parish
Hall with views of beautiful sunrises. Our Christ Church family is warm, friendly, and welcoming to
visitors and our membership includes a firm core of 30-60 faithful, dedicated people that recently
celebrated its 150th anniversary. We believe that we are called to carry out, in this age and in this place,
the threefold duty of all Christians, as defined in the Book of Common Prayer: To follow Christ, to come
together week by week for corporate worship, and to work, pray, and give for the spread of the
kingdom of God. We seek a Rector with the ability to preach the Gospel and make it relevant to our daily
lives; to teach; to give spiritual guidance; crisis ministry; and the ability to inspire young people.
